April 9, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing proposed revisions to the 1989 Total Coliform Rule (TCR). The Total Coliform Rule/Distribution System Advisory Committee established an Agreement in Principle, which provides the Agency with recommendations for revising the TCR. One of the recommendations of the Committee is that EPA conduct stakeholder outreach as the Agency develops the proposed revisions. Today, EPA is giving notice of a public meeting in which the Agency will provide updates on the proposed Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) and the Distribution Systems Research and Information Collection Partnership; opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback on assessment and corrective action guidance related to the proposed rule; and opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback on options for the process of reviewing the methods approved to analyze drinking water samples to determine the presence of total coliforms and E. coli. Other topics to be discussed in the meeting include a review of EPA's commitments to stakeholder outreach and involvement pertaining to the proposed RTCR and the plan and tentative schedule for revising other guidance documents.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is issuing this Notice of Availability to inform interested parties of the availability of the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) database system to report PFC quarterly report information. In accordance with 14 CFR part 158.63, the public agency approved to collect PFCs must provide quarterly PFC reports to air carriers collecting PFCs for the public agency and the FAA. In accordance with Sec. 158.65, each air carrier collecting PFCs for a public agency must provide quarterly reports to the public agency unless otherwise agreed to by the collecting air carrier and the public agency. The FAA has developed a national PFC database system in order to more easily track the PFC program on a nationwide basis. The PFC database system was developed in three phases. The first phase was a national internal database for FAA use. The second phase expanded the database to allow public agencies to enter and access the PFC quarterly reports for their airport(s). The third phase expands the system to provide database access to the air carriers. The first and second phases of the database are complete. The third phase will allow air carriers to enter PFC collection and remittance information directly into the PFC database on a monthly basis. Use of the PFC database is voluntary and is not the sole means of complying with sections 158.63 and 158.65. However, as stated in 158.20(b), once the air carriers have access to the FAA's PFC database system, those air carriers and public agencies participating in the system will no longer be required to transmit quarterly reports to any interested party.
